rable, both for the city and those
willing to invest their money in q

Then there was the example set by the
prosperous Wheeling Pottery Company
another strong argument In favor Of the
step that has been taken. The starting
up OF a new pottery here means valuable
additions to the population. Skilled
workmen will be required and they are
always desirable citizens. Wheeling will
become more than ever an obiec.
